Established in 1987, the Royal Collection department manages the public opening of the official residences of Her Majesty The Queen and of the official London residence of Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall. It is also responsible for the care of the Royal Collection, one of the world's greatest art collections.

Income generated by the Royal Collection Trust and its trading arm, Royal Collection Enterprises, from the public opening of Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and The Queen’s Galleries, and from associated retail activities, supports curatorial, conservation and educational work, loans and travelling exhibitions, and major capital projects to increase public access. Royal Collection Enterprises also promotes access to the Royal Collection through publishing, retail merchandise and the Picture Library.
